Look Up! Pt.2

Hallelujah. Amen. Let's turn to Luke's gospel, chapter 12. We want to continue the little study we started on "Look up, your redemption is drawing nigh." Amen. You don't hear much about the coming of the Lord anymore. Everybody's kind of happy hanging out here. Jesus said, "I've gone to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you, I shall doubtless come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you will be also." He said at the beginning of that chapter, "In my father's house are many dwelling places. If it were not so I would have told you." Think about it. He's gone and prepared for us, you know they talk about the mansions. That's what Jesus is talking about, a mansion. Our mind goes off to some type of mansion down in Beverly Hills or whatever. I was watching something the other day on TV, like the 10 best homes in Hollywood or something. They're some pretty cool places. They've got some neat stuff out there now. They're all just shacks compared to what the Lord has gone to prepare for us. Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, and it hasn't entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those that love Him. Everything that we can relate to--mansions, streets of gold, gates of pearl--it's all just references to an eternal that is far beyond anything that the natural mind can comprehend. Its just types.

Far beyond what you can imagine is waiting for us and what transcends all of that is the glory and the presence of God because, really, heaven is just where the Lord is. If we're content in the presence of God, we're really experiencing heaven right now, in His presence. Are you at peace today or are you uptight like everyone else in the world that doesn't know Jesus? Are you at peace or are you still governed by covetousness and lust? You know, we've got to have more and if I can acquire bigger and better, then I'm going to be satisfied. No, the Scripture says, "Godliness with contentment is [say it] great gain." Praise God! There's no treasure like the presence of God. Heaven is just about knowing Him in His fullness and being known, the Scripture says, as we're known because one of these days, soon and very soon, one of these days, we're going to see Him as He is and we're going to be like him. Praise God. Aren't you tired of this mess you're hauling around called the flesh? We're going to be like Him. Aren't you tired of being tired? One of these days we're going to be like Him. No more fear. No more pride. No more jealousy. No more death. He's going to wipe away every tear. That's what we're laboring for and it can happen in a moment, the Scripture says. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, we're going to be changed. The eye blinks, two hundredths of a second. Think about that.

I'm becoming more familiar with that on a weekly basis as we race. I lose races by 10/1000 of seconds. Two hundredths of a second is a big margin, the blink of an eye of what we do. I'm getting to where I can see a couple of hundredths of a second and gate and judge it. It gets kind of stupid when you really talk about. "Aw, man, I missed that thing by four hundredths of a second!" Don't miss the rapture by four hundredths of a second. Amen? Because we're going to be changed in the twinkling of an eye. He's going to appear to those, the Scripture says in Hebrews, for those that are looking for Him. He's going to come and bring redemption to those that are looking for Him. He's going to appear a second time, without sin, to those that are looking for Him. How cognizant were you of that yesterday, or did you have one goal: to get the lawn cut? You say, "Are you kidding? I am not using a Saturday for cutting the lawn, man." Okay, one goal: you hit 47 yard sales yesterday. Mission accomplished. But how much time was spent looking for Him. We're going to talk about being prepared for the coming of the Lord. What do we do to prepare ourselves?

We try to prepare ourselves; I heard this morning as I checked out the weather. I don't know why I listen to the weather. I'm coming to church but it's like I have to make it three blocks, so we'll see. I know what most of you are thinking. "Yeah, we're coming to church!" So, you wear your winter coat, right? It doesn't matter if it's 100 degrees outside. We're going in the auditorium, man, it's 40 below. We all know how to dress. But we're preparing ourselves. Flood watches until 10 o'clock. Now, if that bothers you, we have a promise, the rainbow. God is not going to destroy the earth by flood again. It's going to be by fire. Be ready. What are we doing to prepare ourselves? We prepare ourselves for floods and we get prepared for all types of different things that we may encounter. What are you doing to prepare yourself for the coming of the Lord? Is it a reality for you?

We don't hear about it anymore. When's the last time--how many of you listen to Christian radio or watch Christian television? Let me see your hands. When's the last time you heard somebody teaching about the coming of the Lord? Have you heard it? How many of you have heard it at least two times last year on the radio? I listen every morning. Nobody's talking about the coming of the Lord. They're talking about how to cope with society, how to have better self-worth, esteem. Periodically we hear a little bit about evangelism but it's mainly about coping with life. That's where the emphasis has gone in the church because we don't want to be accused, like those who preceded us who were "unlearned," who were so "heavenly minded that they were no earthly good." Today we're earthly good. We're involved in politics. We're involved in all types of social issues. Nowhere in the Scriptures do you find an admonition to be involved in social issues and in politics. But the Scripture's full of being prepared for the coming of the Lord, of being heavenly minded. Amen? We've got it all backwards. So let's talk about that for a little bit.

He's going to appear to those that are looking for Him. He's going to appear to those, Timothy says, to those who love His appearing. Love His appearing. We love everything today. "Oh, I just love that." "Don't you love that?" And we're talking about food. No, I don't love it. I just ate it. Well, there is one exception. If you go to Cold Stone Creamery but other than that, there's nothing to love in that area. Do you love His appearing? We love our houses, and we love our cars. I just love that. We love our perfume. "Oh, I just love that." Do you love His appearing? We throw that word around and we don't even think about His coming. How many of you have marked your vacation on your calendar? How many of you have marked on your calendar "The Sale"? How many of you stroll the aisles at K-Mart looking for the blue light? Where's our treasure? What are we looking for in this life? What do we set our affections on? The Scripture says, "Don't set your affections on the things of the earth." What has your heart?

Luke 12 says this. Let's go ahead and spend a little bit of time here; passages that we're very familiar with, but I want to introduce it from this very familiar passage, Luke 12:22. "And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought [don't be careful or concerned or preoccupied] for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment." And then He makes reference, of course, to consider the ravens, they don't sow, they don't reap but God feeds them. And aren't you much more valuable than they are? So, He makes reference to that and He comes down and He says in verse 29, "And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. [Doubting the care of God, the concern that everything that is necessary in life He's going to provide for us.] For all these things do the nations [or another rendering is the heathen, the pagans; that's what they're preoccupied with.] of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things." Don't spend your time and energy worrying about it. God will provide; He will give you wisdom. He's already told us that we're to be content in godliness. Now, take no thought or do not seek these things.

I want to contrast it with what He does tell us to seek and prepare ourselves for and then we have to ask ourselves the question, "Am I spending more time and energy for the things that I'm not supposed to be preparing for, or for the things I'm supposed to be preparing for?" I'm supposed to be preparing for heaven, for the coming of the Lord. I am to be occupied with those. That's to occupy my mind. It's to take my energy and my time in preparation. I'm to pray. I'm to study. I'm to seek His presence. I'm to serve the body of Christ. I'm to be salt and light to the world. I'm to forsake and come out from among from all that is considered worldliness and seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. So the question we want to ask this morning and that we have to be very truthful with ourselves is, "What am I preparing myself for? Am I preparing myself for earth or heaven?" What's really taking my time and my energy? The Scripture speaks very clearly that He's going to bring judgment upon all those that are earth dwellers, that love the earth more than they love heaven. That love what this world can provide more than what His presence provides.

Most of us mistakenly think that "Well, I made a profession of faith, I accepted Jesus as Savior, therefore, I'm going to heaven." It's not so. The fact that you experienced regeneration, new birth, doesn't mean that you're going to experience glorification. Glorification is the final spiritual, eternal transformation into that which is acceptable to God, that which enables us to dwell forever with Him. You must be glorified to dwell with God forever. Right now we're experiencing what is called "sanctification." We're being cleaned up. That's what sanctification is. It's a process of cleansing, as we still have to deal with this flesh and the sin that's in our members. So we are regenerated, brought to life. We're experiencing the process of sanctification, the cleansing of our hearts and minds so that we can know God better and be prepared for glorification, the final consequence of justification, pronouncing ourselves right with God. We all know the Scripture. There's going to be a day where they're going to stand before Him and they're going to say, "Lord, Lord, didn't we do these things in Your name?'' He's going to say, "I never knew you. Depart from Me you workers of iniquity." Those are people who once knew God, who once professed His name but they weren't ready when the judgment came.

We've bought a bill of goods over these last decades that all you have to do is make some simple profession of faith, accept Jesus as Lord and you're going to heaven and then live for the world the rest of your life. It's not so and that's why you don't hear teaching any longer on the coming of the Lord, because Satan has blinded the eyes, especially of the teachers, the false prophets of God, who are making merchandise of the church, just telling people what they want to hear so that they can receive a couple of offerings. The bride isn't being prepared for the coming of the Lord. People who used to look for the coming of the Lord are now earth dwellers. Where are you? What are you seeking? What are you giving yourself to? Verse 31, "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things [and all of this other stuff] shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Now check this out.

What do we do to get ready for the coming of the Lord? Well, you seek first the kingdom. How much time are you putting into learning to trust God? That's what seeking first the kingdom is really all about. Walking by faith, trusting God instead of yourself, allowing to be established in you another value system. The world talks about what success is and the Bible talks about what success is. Which value system do you live by? So He says this, "Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Now sell that which you have. We all know that He doesn't mean we all have to totally liquidate and give it all away to the poor. We also know the parable of the rich young ruler, don't we? When he was admonished by the Lord to do that couldn't do it because he loved the natural treasures.

What I want you to see here is what Jesus is speaking. Provide for yourself treasures in heaven. That's the key. What are you doing to enhance your heavenly account? Because where your treasure is, He goes and concludes, that's where your heart is. What we're talking about being ready for the coming of the Lord is a heart preparation. What do you love? Do you love His appearing? Where your treasures are. The pearl of great price that Jesus spoke of. The people were ready to liquidate everything that they had to obtain that pearl. The obsession to have that pearl. It meant more than all else. Does He? More than mothers and fathers, houses and lands, wives and children. Being ready to hear that voice, "Come up hither." Is it the most important thing in your life? Is the one treasure, these words, "Well done, good and faithful servant," motivating you in everything that you do, in everything that you think? Jeff was talking to you Young Adults last night about dealing with lusts and covetousness and all of these different things. How do you do that? Very simple, you change your treasures. You can't do it in your own strength. You're not going to say, "Now, I'm going to discipline my mind. I'm not going to think about those things anymore." You're thinking about them! How do you then change? Very simple, you reprogram or renew your mind. Think on these things. Don't think on how not to think about those things. Think on these things. When you start thinking about the eternal and you start laying treasures up in heaven, and your mind thinks about worshipping God and honoring God, and your mind begins to meditate upon the things above where Jesus is seated at the Father's right hand, you begin to reprogram and your thought processes completely change. You do not have to try not to think about this. You're thinking about that. That's how it works. It's simple.

This is what He's saying to us right here. Lay up for yourself treasures in heaven. "For where your treasure is, [verse 34] there will your heart be also. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord..." Now we're going to talk about the five wise and the five foolish virgins a little bit in Matthew 25, preparation for the coming of the Lord. He says here, "And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. [Verse 37; get it in your notes. Mark it.] Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching..." The question the Lord had is this, "When I return, will I find faith on the earth? When I come back, am I going to find people that are trusting in Me, that are looking for Me? Everything we face daily is to get our minds distracted from the coming of the Lord. The doctrine of divine healing has almost been totally robbed from the church because of medical science today. Almost totally gone, we just don't need God anymore. The pharmacopoeia. It becomes so normal.

I take a medicine that the doctor prescribed for me, he prescribed it by faith. I take it in a prophylactic way. It's taken just as a safety. I don't have high cholesterol, but my grandfather and father died of heart disease, so the doctor said, "Why not take this as a precaution? It has no side effects. It won't hurt you." "Well, do I have high cholesterol?" "No, your cholesterol is normal but it wouldn't hurt to take it." So I said, "Okay I'll take it." So I'm taking this and don't think anything about it. Get up in the morning, open the little jar, and pop the pills. Yesterday I told Greer, "I'm out of this medicine. Can you call and order another bottle of it?" So she dials in the code, and the last three letters weren't accepted. What's the deal? It kept saying no that's the wrong thing. Well, I was taking somebody else's medicine. I took the whole bottle. The last time I was at the pharmacy they gave me this bottle and I took all the pills. You'd better take your medicine by faith. It could kill you.

What are we trusting in? What are we looking for? What are our hearts set upon? As He's speaking to us and He's trying to get us to answer the question, what is our treasure? Now we all want to answer properly. We all know the right answer. Our theology is okay. There are people who have even changed their theology. We haven't. There are people that are now post-trib, post-millennial, amillennialists. They believe we are living in the millennium right now. If this is it, man, what a rip! Two dollars a gallon for gas in the millennium! That's why I've been riding my motorcycle lately. That was cool the other day. I went in and filled her up for four dollars! I thought, "This is cool!" It's not like the Suburban, a 40-gallon tank. You have to take out a loan to fill your truck up. This isn't it. Can you say, praise God? Are you ready to get out of here? Are you a pilgrim?

One of our favorite songs, those of us who have been around a little bit longer than others and been raised in the church, and looking for the rapture. You all remember the old chorus, "I'll Fly Away." We used to sing that a lot. "I'll fly away, Oh glory. I'll fly away. When I die, hallelujah, by and by, I'll fly away. Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away." "You're just of an escapism mentality." You got it, Jack! But at the same time, the admonition is we occupy until He comes. We're not totally escapists in our mentality because we live to be salt. We live to be light. We live victoriously. We live lives that believe that in all things we are more than conquerors. We believe that whatever we touch will prosper. That wherever we put our feet God will give it to us. We believe that no weapon formed against us will prosper. But beloved, the best is a poor imitation of what we have waiting for us. Amen? I want out of here. I'm tired. Every day is a battle with my flesh, with sin, with a world that's reeling like a drunken man, that's dying itself, in a society when evil is worshipped and lauded. They call good evil and evil good. What is it that you want from these people? You see, it's a system. The world is a system. You can't just touch their stuff without getting vexed by their spirit. It's alive. Everything about it is a living organism trying to destroy you. It's a kingdom of darkness that is opposing the kingdom of light. The world is not amoral. It is antichrist. The more we embrace it, the more we pursue it, and the more we admire it, the greater the reproach against our God and the greater we devalue the pearl of great price. Where's your treasure? Because where your treasure is, that's where your heart's going to be.

"Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: [Now look at the consequence. If you're watching, if you're looking for Him, if you're loving His appearing, verse 37] verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them." There is a benefit to you now laboring. There is a rest; there is a day of reward and there is a day of reckoning. We don't hear about that anymore. The reason we don't hear about a day of reckoning is because everybody's a victim. Nobody is responsible for anything. But here we are living in a day of preparing our hearts for the coming of the Lord to when every man is going to give an answer of every idle word ever spoken, every deed done, whether good or evil, the Scripture says. He'll sit down and serve them.

"And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so [waiting and watching], blessed are those servants. [We don't know what watch He's coming in. The Scripture says no man knows the day or the hour. He comes, the Bible says, as a thief in the night.] And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not" (verses 38 - 40).

What are you doing to prepare yourself? What have you done to physically prepare yourself? Today we have all of the different things. We have alarm systems and all these different things. It goes off and the police respond. That's a joke. Do you know how long it takes them to get there? You'd be better off to call the pizza delivery guy! He's going to get there faster. Now, I'm not talking about Kevin. But what are you trusting in? We do everything we can to prepare. Ladies take those self-defense classes. You might as well go to dance class. All it is is choreography. Now granted, there are 10 percent of the guys you can whip. You could probably do it without the class. But if you weight 110 and you come against a guy that is 210 and is as equally skilled, you're done. It doesn't work. It's the movies. Real life, what have you done to prepare? Some of us have decided to trust in others such as Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson. So we go to class. "Make my day!" Right? We're all Dirty Harriet. I wouldn't discourage you in the stupid world that we're in to make provision to protect yourself, but don't forget God. He covers us with His feathers. Amen? He's given His angels charge over us lest we dash our foot against the stone. His glory is our rear guard, praise God! A thousand fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand and it doesn't come nigh us. Do you believe that this morning? Amen. It's what you're trusting in. If you make the other type preparations, there's nothing wrong with that. It might be wisdom, but trust God.

It reminds me of a story that happened at Bakersfield First Assembly years ago. The preacher had been preaching on the protection of God and on that one verse. A lady was going out and walking home and a purse-snatcher came to try and get her purse. He reached up and grabbed her purse and started to run and she just screamed, "I've got feathers!" It scared the guy and he took off. He thought he had some maniac. He didn't know. The Lord covers us with His feathers, praise God. What are you trusting in? Do you have feathers this morning? It'd be good to get some if you don't.

What we're talking about--listen to what the Lord is saying here--is being ready, being prepared. Are you prepared? Is your faith where it needs to be to be preserved in this day, to be protected from the antichrist, to be protected from all of the evil that is in the world? Do you believe in the sovereignty of God, the providence of God? Don't be foolish. Don't go out there and throw yourself off the pinnacle and say, "Well, He's given His angels charge over us." They'll probably pick you up in a sponge. But you can trust God without being presumptuous. So we prepare the best we can, we trust and we believe God and He preserves us because no one can take our lives, Father has to offer them up. Don't be afraid. Don't spend all of your time in karate and gun classes. Don't spend $50,000 on an alarm system and a safe room. Pray and know the presence of God. Get some feathers. Learn to walk in the spirit, because the real issue is how full are you of the Spirit of God? Are your lamps full? Are you full of the oil of God? Listen to what He says. "If the man had known, he would have prepared. If the man had known the hour, he would have prepared."

I'm going to tell you when Jesus is coming back. You all ready? "False prophet! No man knows the day or the hour." I do. Do you want me to tell you what it is? This is the hour, amen! Then the next hour is the hour and the hour after that's the hour. His return is imminent. It's at any moment. That's when Jesus is coming back, at any moment. He's coming back at a time when you think not. He's coming back at a time when they cry, "Peace and safety. We're fixing it. The system is being fixed. Men are better." You see, that was the message that just absolutely destroyed the church prior to World War I. As the amillennialists taught and this doctrine of the coming of the Lord was being pooh-poohed by everybody because of progress and man was becoming enlightened and we were going to build a one-world utopia. It's been promised in so many ways over the years. The last great proponent, of course, was Communism. All men are going to be equal. Then, World War I just rudely interrupted that philosophy. People had to reconsider the theology and yet that doctrine didn't die easily because of secular humanism, the religion of secular humanism, it wants to believe that man is basically good. "Man is good, really. We're really good. I'm really good. You're really good. We're really good. Just give us the right environment and we're good. Give me everything that I want and I'm good." It really did hurt that philosophy and that theology, but it didn't die easily and so the arguments continued. They just said it was really a hiccup and it was the war to end all wars--except for World War II. As it pertains to us, Korea, Vietnam, the Six Day War. Where do wars come from, James says? Is it not from your own lusts? The deification of self will, the seeking of our own instead of others. The seeking of the temporal instead of the eternal that's where wars come from. When you hear the cry, "Peace and safety" sudden destruction is going to come as on a woman in travail. All of these years later and all of these wars later, they still say it.

Sooner than when we first believed, the Scripture says. Verse 40, "Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." Step number one, what do you do to prepare yourself? What do I do to prepare myself for the coming of the Lord? When the Son of man comes, will He find faith upon the earth? Number one: Seek first the kingdom of God. Reestablish your treasure. It's not easy to do in this day that we're living when everything around us is promoting more. You've got to look this way, dress this way, smell this way, and live in this community. It's all going to pass away. It's all going to burn. What are we doing to prepare ourselves with a new value system, the pearl of great price, the eternal treasures? "Lay up for yourself treasures [verse 34], for where your treasure is there will your heart be also." What do you do? Number two: Establish your treasure. What is your goal? What is it you're pursuing right now? What is the most valuable pursuit? And it will vary. Some of us would say it's a house. It's a car. It's an increase in salary. For so many today, it's a woman! Provide for yourself bags that wax not old. What's your treasure, really? So when we reestablish that, where our treasure is there will our heart be. You just have to make those decisions.

But before any of that can be done (and we'll end with this for this morning) in the preparation and not knowing the hour, for if we'd known the hour, we would have prepared, we would have been ready. We're talking about the imminent return. You have to ever be ready, but you can't truly be motivated to be ready without first knowing the real condition of your heart, being truthful with yourself. See, most of us will lie to ourselves and say, "My treasure is the Lord." Really? What do you spend your time and energy on? What are your thoughts occupied by? What can you live with and what can you live without? We all know the doctrine, but what about your heart? Can you truly answer in the affirmative? "I can live without anything but the presence of God. Take not Your Holy Spirit from me." That's why the foolish virgins were in so much trouble; they thought they could live with less of the Spirit of God than they really could. That's what we want to talk about a little bit tonight.

Father, we thank You for Your Word and we just ask that You would show Yourself to us and strengthen us in this hour that we're in. None of us are immune. All of us are affected and vexed. Every one of us has sin in our members. We're all constantly warring with selfishness, pride, fear, envy, lust, seditions, heresies, emulations, and strife. But Lord, we don't want to be found wanting; we want to be ready. Yes, this stuff has to be battled. Give us the grace and the strength and the faith to press on toward the mark, the prize, the high calling of God. Reestablish in us eternal heavenly treasures. Cause our eyes to be taken from the treasures of this world and to seek those things that are above where Jesus is seated at Father's right hand. I ask You, Father, this morning to give us a new heart with new treasures that you might be glorified. So when You come, there would be faith. There would be a bride. There will be the rejoicing, and You, Jesus, would be all and all. That's our hearts' desire in Jesus' name; we ask it Father, amen.

Let's stand before the Lord. Are the things of earth growing strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace? Everything is neon today. Instant fix, got to have it yesterday! What a day we're living in. We were talking about that the other day. I want something. I get on the phone and it shows up at my house the next day! That's cool; I like that. "Yes, I'd like to order such and such." "When would you want it?" "Now!" You know, 24 hours is cool but that's not fast enough for me. Faxes. I don't want faxes; I want that thing to be like Star Trek. I want that thing to materialize, just transport it over here. I want to see a little bit of molecular reconstruction. But the Scripture talks about the patient waiting for the coming of the Lord. We get distracted because we've lost patience. We're not settled on how worthy that is to wait for it. I want to tell you guys something as you were taught last night. Sexual experience loses all of its value if you take it out of lust and don't receive it as a gift, as a way of worshipping God. If you're not willing to wait and patiently honor God, it's meaningless. It's a dime a dozen. But in the right context of God's grace, of His covenant, of His presence, it is invaluable. But we can't be patient. We don't want to wait for anything. Learn patience. What has value is worth waiting for. Keep yourself pure. Keep yourself separate. Change your value system and glorify God in your obedience, for the day of the Lord is at hand.

As Gary plays for us, we'll take just a moment this morning and seek His face, His presence. "Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face." That's what makes all of the things of the earth grow strangely dim. Following Him, seeing Him that's invisible. The world can't see Him. They don't know what you're looking at. We talked about it the other day, how they're confounded as they hold up all of this that glitters, the gold, the fame, and we look right past it. They say, "What are you looking at? Why can't we distract you with these treasures?" Because we see Him who's invisible. Do you see Him this morning? Let's look on His face and let everything else be put into its proper perspective. "Turn your eyes upon Jesus..." Hallelujah! Just worship Him. To look full into Your heart. To be touched with Your love for us. How can we help but love You? How can we help but seek You first? Make it real, Father, in Jesus' name, amen.

Before you go, turn to somebody and say, "Seek the things that are above." Amen. Go in peace. God's love go with you.
